On the heels of deadly mass shootings across America, Sen. Lindsey Graham is campaigning against [[link removed]] an Assault Weapon Ban and is grotesquely glorifying [[link removed]] everyday access to AR-15-style assault rifles.

We know too well that assault weapons are the murder weapon of choice for high-profile mass shooters in America. But that isn’t stopping Sen. Graham from recklessly and illogically arguing for their use and ownership by everyday Americans. Worse yet, he’s spouting outright lies about the life-saving effectiveness of banning assault weapons.

Here’s Brady President Kris Brown correcting his record:

[s.surveyplanet.com/LKKTZ4QNv?ms=btk301?]

We at Brady led the fight to pass the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban. So we know better than anyone that Sen. Graham’s claims are lies. In fact, the only reason Congress let the ban lapse after 10 years was because NRA-bought-and-paid-for politicians like Sen. Graham.

Since the ban expired, we at Brady have fought like hell to reinstate it. And now, with gun safety majorities in the White House, Senate, and House, we have the best chance in years to ban weapons of war for good.

But to seize the moment and push back on NRA-backed politicians like Sen. Graham, it's going to take a massive outpouring of grassroots support — and that's why we have selected you John, a top Brady supporter, to make your voice heard.

Will you take our assault weapons ban survey right now? We urgently need your response to urge Congress and the White House to ban assault weapons and push back against NRA-backed politicians like Sen. Graham and more. [[link removed]?]

You're Invited — "Second Amendment and the Courts: Threats Before the U.S. Supreme Court"

For decades, the NRA and gun lobby have attempted to use the courts to push for a radical reinterpretation of the Second Amendment. They aim to gut common-sense gun safety laws, like regulations on guns in public spaces, assault weapons, and more.

We recently won against an NRA lawsuit that threatened to roll back more than 300 state gun safety laws across the country. But that ruling was made before the balance tipped on the Supreme Court. Now, we’re waiting imminently as the Supreme Court has signaled they will soon take up another Second Amendment case. So, what threats lay ahead?

We’re convening experts to explain the legal landscape in the fight to prevent gun violence on Wednesday, April 15, at 4 p.m. ET.

Who Is Jim Brady and Why Is He Important?

[[link removed]]

March 30 marked 40 years since our namesake, Jim Brady, was grievously shot and injured in the assassination attempt of President Reagan. Turning pain into progress, Jim refused to let this tragedy define his life, and with his loving wife, Sarah, they led the fight to pass the bipartisan Brady Bill, establishing the Brady Background Check System — our nation's first background check system for gun sales.

Many Americans remember the exact moment when President Reagan was shot and Jim Brady was nearly killed on that gloomy day in Washington, D.C. We wrote a blog geared toward younger generations about Jim and Sarah’s life-saving legacy and how March 30, 1981, marked a turning point for gun reform in America. John, will share our blog with a young person you know?

Fred Guttenberg, Brady, Announce Joint Effort To Prevent Gun Violence [[link removed]] , Brady[[link removed]] We are grateful for the Fund Peace coalition for helping secure historic funding for community-based violence prevention programs!

This week, President Biden unveiled [[link removed]] his "American Jobs Plan," which includes a historic $5 billion in funding for community-based violence intervention programs and groups. The introduction of this vital funding was made possible, in part, by the Fund Peace coalition, a diverse group of more than 50 violence prevention organizations led by Black and Brown leaders.

These funds will empower community violence prevention programs to work within local, impacted communities to mediate conflict and stop violence before it happens. The programs will work to address the many root causes of violence, taking a holistic, public health approach to the public health crisis that is gun violence.

We also thank the many organizations, such as the Community Justice Action Fund (CJAF) and the #InvestInUs coalition [[link removed]] , of which Brady and Team ENOUGH are a part, and Black and Brown activists who have spent years leading the call for this common-sense approach to violence prevention. We call on Congress to pass this life-saving funding immediately!

“This is an unprecedented moment and opportunity to continue building upon the collaboration in the gun violence prevention movement and achieve our shared goal: ending gun violence. We are excited to work together in this joint effort to unite all parts of our nation to prevent gun violence. Together, we will work with elected officials of all levels to ensure that we take advantage of this moment for change and with leaders in the health care sector, who are on the front lines of this crisis, and with community-based organizations who are closest to this violence to take a comprehensive approach to gun violence prevention. Nothing is more important than passing comprehensive and common-sense reforms that save lives. There is not a moment to lose. We can do this.”

— Brady on our new partnership with Fred Guttenberg, father of Jaime Guttenberg, who was shot and killed in the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, in 2018.
